All,
the purpose of the devstack-plugin-tar-installer[1] is exactly what you
mentioned: a tool needed to test experimental features in libvirt and
qemu. I am planning to release a new version next week, addressing some
of the comments received, however new testers/developers are more than
welcome! Sean, maybe you can have a look at the code and, if you are
interested, we can discuss how to proceed further.
I also think it would be nice if we can join all together the efforts on
this project[2], as I believe this is an interesting feature for
devstack. Maybe there is also a way to integrate this work with the gate
Markus was mentioning.
Thank you Kashyap for pointing this out!

Hi
I recently had the need to test a feature (vhost-user reconnect)
that was commit to the qemu source tree a few weeks ago. As there
has been no release since then I needed to build from source so to
that end I wrote a small devstack plugin to do just that.
I was thinking of opening a review to create a new repo to host the
plugin under The openstack namespace
(openstack/devstack-plugin-libvirt-qemu) but before I do I wanted to
ask if others are interested In a devstack plugin that just compiles
and installs qemu and Libvirt?
Regards Sean.
tonby and I try to make the devstack plugin "additional package repos"
(apr) work [1]. What you did is within the scope of that project. We
also have an experimental job
"gate-tempest-dsvm-nova-libvirt-kvm-apr"[2]. The last time I worked
on this I wasn't able to create installable *.deb packages from
libvirt + qemu source code. Other work items did then get more
important and I had to pause the work on that. I think we can work
together to combine our efforts there.
NB: There's also in-progress work to allow configuring libvirt / QEMU
from source tar balls, as an external DevStack plugin:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/313568/ -- Plugin to setup
libvirt/QEMU from tar releases
It was originally proposed (now abandoned, in favour of the above) as a
patch to DevStack proper, but was abandoned, as it was suggested to make
it as external plugin:
